I'm guessing this is kuwait... i wonder if the magazine is loaded.. Damn I hated those old Berettas.
What problems did you recall, or did you just not like 'em?
As a 'tist I always like hearing what people thought about guns they were forced into carrying.
Beretta's early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when the 92 came out in '76 I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole series has clear, crisp lines and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the user a big boost. They've been compared to Walther, but I think Beretta has a far more moustachioed, ante pasta sense of design.
As a design, they don't look bad and I agree about your thought of the look - it sort of defined what a pistol was for many years similar to the colt 1911 in it's time and even now. However, after rattling around the inventory for years and having God knows how many rounds put through them, they lost a lot of the swagger imo and would jam often, shoot inconsistent groupings, and for me it just didn't fit my hand well. I enjoyed the fielding of the M17 because i shoot it great, and i got it brand spanking new. I was literally the only person to have fired that weapon. sincerely wish I could have "lost" it after that deployment and paid the $125 dollar FLIPL for it... buuut the army freaks out about losing weapons unless you're a leftist politician or have a star... but i'm being redundant as those are the same things these days.
Yes, it is a government retardation problem not a gun problem
